Brides Across America Launches Operation Wedding Gown Giving Free Wedding Gowns To Military Brides.

Oct. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Nationwide--October 2, 2012-- Brides Across America, Operation Wedding Gown, will salute our troops and honor our heroes this November while making dreams come true for military brides. As part of Brides Across America’s commitment to support our troops and veterans, the non-profit organization will host their 6th annual bridal gown giveaway at salons nationwide.  From coast to coast, bridal salons are honoring veterans by giving away free wedding gowns as a thank you for their service to this Country. To date, Brides Across America has donated over 8,000 wedding gowns from prominent designers.

In order to qualify, brides or their fiancé must be serving in the military; either currently deployed or deployed within the last five years to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Libya, or Japan.  Identification and deployment papers must be presented at the event to qualify. For military brides who are interested in more information, please visit www.bridesacrossamerica.com on how to qualify. Brides must pre-register for the event by logging on to Brides Across America’s website.

Many military brides find it difficult to plan their dream wedding due to deployment, injury or economic circumstances.  Brides Across America founder, Heidi Janson, wants to continue making dreams come true.  “My goal is to make sure we don’t forget all the servicemen and women overseas fighting for our freedom. It is imperative at this point for Brides Across America to continue growing and make a bigger difference by gaining more support from bridal salons and designers.”  Without the program, military brides find it difficult to afford the perfect wedding gown and plan for their wedding day.
